    I think you're thinking of 3677.

    Very nice little loco! For the central axle, you could have used 11955 (8-tooth gear without friction) to prevent any skipping that I suspect may be caused by the sliding central axle as the gear becomes unaligned. Just like the company's apparent motto, it's simple and it works.

    This idea is brilliant and well executed. I agree a timing mechanism would make it more interesting than running it off a Mindstorms, but I can't think of how to build one. And the title...

    This has been mentioned before. I think the reason was that the part needed to have the rigidity of a standard liftarm for the hole, and the softer plastic usually used for pins wasn't up to the job. This makes the parts harder to connect and disconnect at the pin ends. Part 48989 escapes this by having no friction on its pins, so the pins are slightly smaller (I guess) and thus no connection stiffness problems.

    Simple and clever! I like it! Have you tested out any of these GBC modules over a longer stretch of time, as a module would experience at an event? I don't see why this particular module should break down, but you can never tell until it's been 'run in'. (And it seems you have posted the same picture twice )

    That's a really nice looking locomotive! I love the angles around the cab. Does it have space for PF inside?

    Just hover over the topic title; a small window should pop up. From there you can preview the first or last post in that topic by clicking on the tabs at the top of the little window.

    I love the use of bins as set lights! How are they held in place? Are they just 'floating', or actually secured? I would love to see some of these gorgeous details separately!

    Good little MOC for a laugh! I think (I haven't had hamsters for a couple of years) it's even accurate in the way when it starts up it slips backwards, and then surges forwards when it stops. Whether this was intentional or not I don't know, but overall it's pretty cool!

    That looks really good! Why don't you carry on the lines down the middle of the cycle lane (I think that's what it is) between the crossings?

    Looks fun. At least you have a colour code system. Have you put number tags on each cable so that you can find each end later? Otherwise you'll have fun troubleshooting if a cable becomes disconnected! I can't wait until this is up and running!

    Well, I'm on my laptop so there's inconsistency. I'm using a version (the weird Windows 8 one) of Internet explorer. I haven't checked my phone since the update.

    Not much inconvenience here, but afterwards all the red tags on pinned topics have stretched all the way across the listing page... Such as in this topic, the tag 'Ask here' is the same width as the title box on the topic listing page. It seems to be the case in at least 3 sub-forums. (Here, Train Tech and Town).

    There must be two motors; a shot of the IR receiver (I can't remember where from) showed two PF connectors attached. I suspect the operator didn't bother with the other switch on the remote!

    So shiny! It looks like it has recently rained in your city! The patterns look really good, I like the little plant beds between the parking spaces. Are you going to replace some of those tiles with jumper plates to hold minifigs down?

    As can be seen in BANANENBUURMAN's video, trains and snow work fine together:

    She's beautiful! As a Brit, I've always loved the LNER A1 classes, such majestic, powerful machines. This model would be really set off by a rake of BR MK1s behind her... I like the outdoor photography too. All the brilliant little details such as the brake levers between the wheels and sanding gear at the front really stand out with full sunshine on them. Good job all round!

    I think that the best example of this was using the train motor bogie sides in dark brown in 70589 - Ninjago Rock Roader. I'm surprised it hasn't turned up in anyone's MOCs yet. I like this approach of using parts in other sets during non-train-release years, it keeps the moulds from gathering dust and gives us a game of which-sets-hide-the-train-bits! That bus actually has a full pair of doors, unlike the one from 60026 which only had right-hand doors. Bonus!

    "No sign of the prisoner - he seems to have driven off through a solid wall..." I have this issue of traffic driving towards a wall sometimes... Anyway, very good! I like this theme of building a story around your MOCs and MODs, it really helps them to fit together and allows you to realistically plan future developments. I don't know if you have already, but you could have a construction team who actually build things; a plot of land opens up, the team move in, use cranes and whatnot to build your moc, and then leave a finished building behind...

    Interesting. I once tried an Ivatt 2mt tender loco as my first model. As it was a Constitution Train chase MOD/MOC, it didn't work out too well. This model, on the other hand, looks pretty good - especially the shaping on the bunker. How well does it perform with the older motor, especially only connected to one axle? I've experienced issues using that type of transmission in locomotives, but you look like you have thought out the weight distribution. Good job overall.

    She looks amazing, as do all your other builds... How do you start building these? Do you try to formulate a plan, or just start? (Sorry, you've probably been asked this loads of times ) I hope the new owner appreciates the work that has gone into this beauty.
  22. ColletArrow
    This is an excellent, clean little MOC. I like the simple, black, brown and white colour scheme. Good job overall.
  23. ColletArrow
    I found this problem. There's a topic here in the LDD sub-forum with mock-ups built out of existing parts you may be interested in: You just have to be careful planning where hoses are routed if building from scratch, like I tried.
  24. ColletArrow
    That's a pretty clever system, especially with the 'syringe empty' sensor. Thanks for the response!
  25. ColletArrow
    Are they actually pulling themselves along, or are the wheels powered intermittently? Either way, they are both pretty cool mechanisms. EDIT: sorry, I didn't realise that the OP had accidently created two topics, and I commented in the empty one. A mod may want to merge these
